The investigation focuses on potential liability arising from Impax’s management of its Hayward, California manufacturing plant. On March 4, 2013, the Company disclosed that the FDA had completed a re-inspection of the plant, and issued a Form 483 setting forth twelve concerns, or “observations,” that the FDA has regarding manufacturing practices at the plant. The FDA reportedly designated three of the observations as repeat observations, as it noted them in a prior inspection of the plant in March 2012. The Company further disclosed that until the FDA confirms that the plant is in compliance with applicable manufacturing standards, “approval of pending and new applications listing the Hayward facility as a manufacturing location of finished dosage forms may be withheld.”

The new Form 483 is the latest episode in a course of events that began in 2011, with the FDA’s issuance of a Warning Letter to the Company regarding the Hayward plant. The Warning Letter stated that FDA investigators had identified “significant violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice” at the plant, resulting in the manufacture of adulterated drugs.

Shares of Impax closed down 26% percent on the day following the Company’s announcement.
